Why I Built Smart ATS Résumé

The Problem

Over 90% of companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) like Workday, Taleo, and Greenhouse to screen resumes before a human ever sees them. Studies show up to 75% of resumes are auto-rejected—not because candidates aren't qualified, but because their resumes aren't formatted or keyword-optimized for the software. Applicants are left confused and discouraged, never knowing why they didn't hear back.

Why Resumes Fail

ATS systems can't interpret design—they read raw text. Fancy formatting, columns, tables, infographics, icons, and creative fonts often cause parsing failures. A beautiful, well-written resume can still be rejected simply because the software couldn't read it properly.

The Solution: Smart ATS Resume

Smart ATS Resume was built to solve this invisible barrier. It:
